1.How Will I Know?
You could be anywhere
A passerby might
Capture my eye unaware
You could be anyone
But how will i know
When my time has come?
'cos in the middle of the day
Or in the middle of the night
How will i know if it's you
How will i know it's right
And if it all comes down to me
To go walking up to you
There's one million little things
That i'm more likely to do
I kinda know you're there
A lifetime's knowing
A life's undergoing unawares
You could be anyone
But how will i know
If my time has come?
2.You My Lunar Queen
And now
Just like
It's always been
You my lunar queen
3.Of This Goodbye
Love never listens
Life don't have the time
And it's some superstition
Ambition's bitten junkie crimes
What i'd rob from a stolen moment
I'd sell for time
Fare ye well, who could tell
Of this goodbye
Fare ye well, who could tell
Of this goodbye
Know there's a sentence
That tenders every living jive
As it blows ever present
Through a skin's disguise
But i'd know you in daylight
The way i'd know you eyes
Then my friend, till the end
You were quite a sight
Fare ye well, who could tell
Of this goodbye
Whether her shoulders
Weather the wheeling stars?
As they press ever gently
Ever silver scars
And they'll wind round your milky
Arthstuff,
They'll take you alive
It's the deal, it's something real
Into which we dive
Fare ye well, who can tell
Of this,
Goodbye
4.Last Good Day Of The Year
Don't tell me
That you get sick of living
When the summer's so forgiving although we have stolen
All of the things that we though we had owned then
Have disappeared
All these things in flavour
Won't do you no favours
When the summer's light is fragrant with scents of returning
You relent, you resent, now you're burning
For nothing to change....
There's something there...
(amongst the fallen fruit and flowers)
Won't rest
(only minutes, only hours)
Unless
(now the morning breaks in showers)
I guess
We'll remember this all of our lives
On the last good day of the year
All the leaves are turning
Autumn's fingers burnished
Furnished here in hope and in faith in the meantime
Kinda working my way through a dream
I was having alone
There's something there...
(amongst the fallen fruit and flowers)
Won't rest
(only minutes, only hours)
Unless
(now the morning breaks in showers)
I'm left
With the north wind breathing down my neck...
On the last good day of the year.....
(don't know where i end and where you begin...)
5.Shades Of Ruinous Blue
Pale luminescent face
Cumulescent grace now
Borne in shades of
Ruinous blue
Thin, like the river's wrinkled skin
All the mirrors in the heavens
Already shaded
In ruinous blue...
There's brooding and moody truths
Moving through the moonlight
The world's lonely edge
There be monsters
Hedging no tomorrow
In ruinous blue
Thrown
Towed between the earth and sea
Shown the secrets
That the sleepless secretly realise
In ruinous blue
Years
Almost never stopping
Tears bottled in a bottle
Drifting here awash
With ruinous blue
6.Your Day Will Come
Your day will come
It's catching up on you
When your race is run
Your feint-hearted faith
Follows through, always, always....
Roll back the night
Roll by the lonely parade and it's gone
What at delight
To unravel the fabric of love
It's the way, it's a crime
It's all the same, but it's not your time
In sequins and dust
Scatter your pearls with the hungry remains
Lipstick and trust
And hope rides another day
Hope rides another day....
7.Mesmer
Hey, hey what became of you
And change, had it changed your tune
How long you wade inside the swirling swirling pool
Just in your own way
For miles, miles now i've been led
These wild, wild things in your head
Lead me blindly down where angels fear to tread
Just in your own way
Now can you feel, can you feel a change
It's circled 'round, it's come back down again
But i'll no longer shower here in someone else's rain
Just in your own way
Now time gets the best of you
Of wine and celestial views
Keep me anchored, keep me sane
Keep me confused
Just in your own way
Now you been lead, you been wildly spun
In rumours net, rumours i've become
Keep me shining in the artificial sun
Just in your own way....
8.One Good Reason
You know i've seen her eye to eye
I've seen her in the flesh
You could call it what you like
A mood, a hunch, a guess
Time travels at the speed of life
There's always time to kill
For half a second's second sight
That's way beyond your will
Like she don't know no better
And better still
She's taking my breath away...
( as if i didn't know )
If i didn't know better
I'd suffer and leave it alone
No better
I'll ride it, i'll right it
I'll go one better
I'll let her inside
The girl's done nothing wrong
For heaven's sake she turns me on
Make no mistake she turns me on
She's been shifting round her shape
Been missing for some time
Well aware when i awake
Aware when i been lying
Sheer water in her eyes
A winter windows rain
All the weather of desire
All the ways to know the pain
Like she don't know no better
Again and again
She's taking my breath away
( as if i didn't know )
If i didn't know better
I'd suffer and leave it alone
No better
I'll ride it, i'll right it
I'll go one better
I'll let her inside
Just to see her garden grow
For heaven's sake she turns me on
Make no mistake she turns me on...
9.She Don't Hear Your Prayer
Oh brother please,
Still the guns at your side
It's only me
We got through it alive
The more things change
The more we're turning to stone
A naked flame
That leaves the lonesome alone
We're cain now we're able
A three of a kind
She's more than one woman,
One woman
The best you could find
Though it feels just like her
Her skin and her hair,
She don't hear your prayer
Anyway, anywhere
Though it looks just like her
She ain't got her eyes
Like someone else in disguise
Or just a trick of the light
An idiot tune
Turning round in my head
I wish i were you
Then i wish i were dead
All love is insane
Wars never get won
Complicated ways
To cover over the sun
I see it behind you
My hands are tied
This thing it ain't broken
Just idling,
Biding it's time...
This living is fatal
Just breathing the air
I'm well out of welcome
I'll tell ya
Stay well out of there.....
10.Jump In The River
Rain, rain on me
I thirst only one desire
Strange danger we
Go dancing into the fray
Where the water runs deep
More than the flesh or the pleasure can keep
Oh please won't you
Jump in the river with me
Sweet the grape
Deep ripened soft betrayal
Stealing days
This tormented mad embrace
And so long may she reign
(long may she rain)
Long may the stains run forever
And then, again
Oh won't you
Jump in the river with me
Jump in the river with me....
